2005年3月15日 · Patients with microscopic hematuria (i.e., at least three red blood cells per high-power field in two of three specimens) should be evaluated to exclude renal and urinary...

It is now widely accepted that pyuria (≥1 WBC μl −1) detected by microscopy of a fresh unspun, unstained specimen of urine is the best biological indicator of UTI available. We aimed to scrutinise the greater potential of symptoms analysis in detecting pyuria and UTI.

We conducted a prospective observational study to determine the performance of microscopic pyuria ≥10 wbc/μL as a surrogate marker of UTI in patients with LUTS. All patients provided clean-catch midstream urine (MSU) samples for analysis, and routine microbiological cultures were used as our reference standard.

The presence of pyuria remains the cornerstone of UTI diagnosis. However, >90% of ASB patients have pyuria, prompting unnecessary treatment. We quantified pyuria by automated microscopy and flowcytometry to determine the diagnostic accuracy for UTI and to derive pyuria thresholds for UTI in older women. Methods

2020年7月20日 · Pyuria, or presence of white blood cells (WBC)s in the urine, is most commonly associated with a urinary tract infection (UTI), but a UTI is not the only cause of pyuria. Isolated pyuria in the absence of bacteriuria can represent many inflammatory processes in the urinary tract, anywhere from the glomerulus to the urethra, or even the genital ...

2023年9月12日 · what is sterile pyuria? Sterile pyuria is the persistent finding of white cells in the urine in the absence of bacteria, as determined by means of aerobic laboratory techniques causes of sterile pyuria

White blood cells seen under a microscope from a urine sample. Pyuria is the condition of urine containing white blood cells or pus. Defined as the presence of 6-10 or more neutrophils per high power field of unspun, voided mid-stream urine, it can be …

4 天之前 · The urine sample is among the most common diagnostic specimen types received by the routine microbiology laboratory ().A urinary tract infection (UTI) diagnosis is made on the basis of both clinical symptoms (e.g., dysuria, frequency, urgency, or costovertebral angle tenderness) and laboratory parameters, such as pyuria, as well as a positive urine culture with a bacterial growth of ≥10 5 ...

2023年7月14日 · In the context of increasing antimicrobial resistance, urine microscopy and culture are vital tools to aid diagnosis and guide appropriate antibiotic therapy of urinary tract infection. While this is traditionally performed using a microscope, modern methods allow...

2022年5月14日 · Pyuria, as defined by a positive urine dipstick for leukocyte esterase or finding on urine microscopy with ≥10 leukocyte/microL by hemocytometry, is a common finding in symptomatic patients with a urinary tract infection. 9 However, pyuria can also be a common finding in an asymptomatic patient without a clinical diagnosis of urinary tract ...
